On-the-fly position correction systems monitor pan and tilt as well as the CMY filters. If a position error is
detected, the fixture self-corrects. If the system cannot correct the position within 10 seconds, feedback is
automatically disabled.
Pan/tilt position correction can be temporarily disabled by setting

between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative
to an arbitrary reference fixture.

To calibrate effects
1. Apply power but do not apply power to the lamp until zoom has been calibrated.
2. To calibrate zoom, first remove the bottom head cover. Select
Run the zoom car to the rearmost limit of its travel (i.e. furthest back towards the lamp) where it is
pressing both end stop switches fully closed. Adjust the zoom car forwards slightly until you hear an
audible click from the end stop switches as they open. Press [Enter] to save the setting. Replace the
bottom head cover.
3. Pan calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom and tilt
positions for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
press [Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to
save the setting.
4. Tilt calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom and pan
positions for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX value. Select one
fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
5. To calibrate CMY filters, project white beams with no dimming and position them for easy comparison.
On each fixture, including the reference, select
defined amount of cyan. Select one fixture to be the reference. Adjust the offsets on the other fixtures to
match the reference color. Press [Enter] to save the setting. Repeat for
